No goodbye

I saw a tree outside the window,

I glanced outside and I was ready to go,

What entered my sight was a mass of junk,

I marched in front and saw a trunk,

I stretched out my hand to touch,

But drew it back when saw the fuss,

Parts of the trunk were glowing bright,

As if glass would look in sun's light,

I touched my head to the bark and couldn't hold back my smile,

The smiles, the laughs all were flowing in their big Nile,

The tree was singing and laughing,

I was enjoying but soon screaming,

From the further end I heard a scream,

I neared the end and all left was a beam,

The beam of light was dim,

It was screaming 'JIM',

I guessed "Jim" must be the woodcutter,

And on the same time a ... Betrayer,

The tree was then crying and screaming his name,

It asked him to stop his game,

He begged for death but did not die,

......before saying a final GOODBYE

I got up to see a tree being cut,

Stopping the man I asked him to keep shut,

I hit the man on his head,

Hugging the tree I said,

"You will not die,

See you again and no goodbye!"
